This video is from TEDxPerth and “provides an overview of the kinds of techniques that elite athletes use to prepare psychologically for their sport, gives details of the scientific research into these techniques and how they work, and how the techniques might be used by competitive athletes and coaches to maximize performance.”

It’s only 12 minutes long so check it out and see which of these techniques you can apply to yourself and your training (or if you’re a coxswain, that you can apply to yourself and the crew).
